Dana White has everyone pissed

I guess it took them a few days to be outraged but the one and only Dana White has riled up his business partners at ESPN.
Dana was asked about Gina Carano's statement and he said everyone needed to leave Gina alone that everyone makes mistakes. He then called the top MMA reporter at ESPN Ariel Helwani who is jewish a douche for trying to make it all about him. Dana has made him cry(literally)in the past for breaking a story before the UFC wanted and blocked him from attending events. Then of course all of the ESPN reporters and on air personalities start calling out Dana White and talking about how great Helwani is.
Ariel is alright but he whines alot. He took what she said and exaggerated it to mean that conservatives are being beaten and gassed in the street and that isn't what she said at all.
It will be interesting to see what happens long term with the UFC and Dana White working with ESPN. I know there will be a shitstorm of people after Dana White because he supports Trump.

Dana White is one of the few remaining alphas who stands up to beta ESPN and cancel culture. Good for him, he has my support in the coming battle.

On this specific issue, I think Dana should have ended his statement after after talking Gina. Adding the Ariel made this all about himself part was just unnecessary.

Most on here would think Dana White is a giant douchebag if he wasn’t pro MAGA.

I disagree, if you are inserting yourself to play victim you should be called on it. Everyone knows Helwani is a snake that likes to play victim. I also don't think there is anything wrong with people disagreeing and having feuds.

You linked fricking Yahoo Sports?
Of course they had to throw this add-on into the article as supposed truth.
Might as well linked a YouTube clip of The View, Trevor Noah or John Oliver.

Ariel made an Instagram video about it. He did try to make it about himself.

That may be so, but not for me. Dana obviously has his haters and supporters, but I have always been a supporter well before I knew of any political leaning of his.

Ariel Hawhani is a huge pussy

So I went to check what Ariel said and I started playing the video and he said "people have asked me about this since I'm in MMA and I'm Jewish" so that gave me the context I needed and turned it off, haven't watched the full video as I don't care for this kind of drama.

But Dana was asked about Gina, he gave his thoughts and should have left it at that. Not because of fear of repercussion, but it was just pointless.

Not really, it has us talking about both of them. Like I said, feuds are good.
BTW right after the presser Dana tweeted that he agreed with one of his fighters that said every mma journalist should have at least 3 amateur fights before they cover the sport. Thats how much fricks Dana White gives.

Good for Dana. I am sick and tired of the pussy, cancel culture. Have we become a society of wimps? Sure seems so to me. I can not think of one thing someone could say to, or about me, that would hurt my feelings. It is called growing the frick up!
